Leviton Telcom MDS6-AX Non-fusible Disconnect Switch 60A

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM MDS6-AX is a front-handle, non-fusible disconnect switch rated at 60 amps. Disconnect switches of this type provide a manual means of isolating electrical equipment from its power source, creating a safe working condition for service and maintenance. The front-mounted handle allows the operator to open and close the circuit without direct contact with internal components. Licensed electricians install this switch as part of a compliant disconnecting means for motors, HVAC equipment, and other electrical loads requiring a lockout point.

This non-fusible disconnect switch is suited for residential and light commercial electrical installations where overcurrent protection is handled upstream by a breaker or fuse panel. It is commonly installed adjacent to condensing units, air handlers, and motor-driven equipment to satisfy code requirements for a local disconnecting means. The front-handle design is appropriate for installations where panel access is from the front of the enclosure.

Key Features

• Non-fusible design relies on upstream overcurrent protection, simplifying service
• 60-amp rating suitable for common residential and light commercial loads
• Front-handle operation allows circuit control without direct internal access
• Single unit per package for straightforward procurement and installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation disconnect switch for residential and light commercial electrical systems requiring a 60-amp non-fusible disconnecting means.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the upstream circuit at the breaker panel before mounting or wiring this disconnect. Verify that the supply conductors and load-side wiring are sized appropriately for a 60-amp circuit before making connections. Follow all local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) requirements for mounting height and enclosure type in the intended environment.
